Bought the Sony MDR-10RDC headphones and missed the ability to pause, change volume etc. At this price, thought I'd try this cable even though it's for Beats by Dre. Out of the package, the connector to the headphones is too big; the Sony needs a small "waist" to be able to plug all the way into the headphones. Filed away about .5 mm so that the plug pops in. Works perfectly with this modification. See Imajes, 2/12/13 review for the click sequences to use the center button.

Depends on the android device. The remote/mic/headset spec that iphones recognize IS a standard, but strangely, not all Android devices abide this standard. The Nexus 5 for instance, can NOT be controlled with this device, but the speakers/mic work just fine.

I haven't had any skipping with my Nokia Lumia Icon with Windows Phone 8.1. It's likely an out of date OS that doesn't properly support Bluetooth 3.x properly. The great thing about this device is Bluetooth 3.x support instead of the other ones at 2.x because of better sound quality and it reconnects WAY faster as a result.

Almost all the controls work on Android... I haven't tested the microphone function yet, but the pause/play/next button (one button with a series of taps skips or pauses, etc) work fine. However, the volume control does not. Easy enough to get to used to, still would have been nice to see the same capability across Android as well...

It works with my iPhone 4, but not as smoothly as some other devices I've used. For example, you cannot switch from phone or speakerphone to this earpiece in the middle of a conversation. It just makes all audio cut out if you try. Instead you must end the call, pair the blutooth, and then call back to continue the conversation. I still keep this earpiece anyway because the foam on the microphone cuts down the wind noise and lets you use it outdoors.

In my experience until now, I also used this product to plug it with my stereo headset and my home theather. I think the phone won't be able to recognize other in-line microphone because the first one will habilitate automatically at the moment you turn it on. You can try it, but I cannot assure you if will work.Regards

When it worked it only worked with Skype. It's called a Skype Phone. Of course, my first one quit and the new one doesn't work at all. My iPod Touch and iPad work with other VOIP services. That's what I'm using now.

I thought it was cool and funny, to have an Iphone with the classic phone handset, It is a great fun gift. Usefulness is questionable? It uses a standard 3.5mm microphone jack. I do not know if it will work with your phone.

As it was mentioned it works on my iPhone as a standard headset, but obviously no specialized apps, therefore i assume it should work as a standard headset on Nokia as well

Hi Amir, The item allow volume control and pick up phones with the button. It doesn't have built in microphone. Thanks

The first two iPhone models (1st gen & 3G) didn't have volume control built into their TRRS jack control system. I'm guessing the mic would still work if you were on a call and you might even be able to start and stop music and answer calls, but that's just speculation on my part.

The microphone and middle button work on any mobile OS; the middle button can be used to answer/hang up calls, double click for next track and triple click for previous track. The volume keys will work on some Android devices with a custom kernel.

I bought it for my cell phone...I have an old phone that is hard to find mic/headphones for. It never worked for my phone (I don't know if it would work on anything else). Sorry...

Their website says it works with any device with a headphone jack. If you mean does it work taking calls and controlling music, then I'm going to hesitantly day yes because these were made to work with Windows Phones. You might want to double check with Microsoft to be sure. Btw, I'm listening to music with these on my 920 as I'm typing this, and you won't be disappointed with them.

I use my headset for dictating correspondence using Dragon Naturally Speaking (now 12.5 preferred) where it works for a well. For my cell phone use I use the less expensive Jawbone headset. As a matter fact, I own and use four of them-all of which work very well. Hope this helps.

The microphone and volume controls do not work on Android phones. There's a disclaimer in the fine print that says:"The remote and mic are supported only by iPod nano (4th and 5th generation), iPod classic (120GB, 160GB only), iPod touch (2nd and 3rd generation), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad. The remote is supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation). Audio is supported by all iPod models. Requires latest iPod software."The play/pause button and the speakers themselves do work and (I think) they sound very nice.

Once my iPhone is connected, it plays music well, but when I try to use voice commands using Siri, the commands aren't understood. I can see the audio is getting to the phone (watching the wiggly line when using Siri), but the pickup is not good. When I disconnect bluetooth, Siri input works okay. So I would say it is no longer using the phone mic or something else in the software is deficient.
